In California law, what acts constitute L&L behaviour. It seems to exclude actual sex and include something else. What could it be?
California Penal Code PENAL CODE SECTION 288
I suppose masturbation, fondling, etc. would fall into this.
IANAL, so I don’t know the exact dividing lines between this charge and the higher charges in that section of the CA penal code.
Well, 288(b) is forced oral copulation, and rape falls under a different heading altogether.
So I guess L&L would be all sexual touching with no penetration.
288 PC could include penetration. DA’s prefer to charge it rather than rape, because each touch is a crime- a kiss, fondle, oral cop, rape etc. Even stroking the hair on the head I have seen charged. Also, an easier way to get years-I wonder if the DA who dislikes Jacko will try to get 3 strikes in one series of crimes.
It’s been done before (3 strikes in one spree).
Actually, 288 is so broad that even a non-touching event can qualify, such as posing, watching someone shower, etc.
